littlebot Film Labs are a series of fun hands-on workshops that will teach young people how to make a film on their phone in a total of 16 hours.

littlebot Film Labs is a project seeking to educate and inspire Malta's youth in the art of filmmaking. Aimed at students between the ages of 11 and 15, it comprises a series of four hands-on workshops in which participants will be producing their own film, from scratch, using nothing but a smartphone and open-source software.

They'll be taken through the creative process step by step, starting with the basics of storytelling from screenwriter Cassi Camilleri, capturing and effectively using sound with sound designer and musician Yasmin Kuymizakis, as well as getting to grips with directing and editing with director Keith Tedesco and editor Franny Schembri, respectively.

With the support of Arts Council Malta and Creative Europe Desk Malta, the films produced at the littlebot Film Labs will be shown at the EFA's Young Audience Film Awards.
